Wait in a waiting room
What the waiting screen means, and what to do with the minute it gives you.
A waiting room means you reached the meeting and the host has not opened the door yet.
The host sees your name on a list and lets you in. It stops strangers wandering into a meeting.
Key points
- A waiting room means you are in the right place
- The host opens the door; nothing is needed from you
What to remember
- The wait is a good minute to test your microphone.
- You arrived. The door opens from the other side.
